More to See at Quilters' Quarters

Our local quilt guild had a silent auction, and I was the happy winner of this retro-wooden Quilting Frame, made in Arizona. I've added it to our growing quilt shop stock.

More beautiful fabrics have been brought into the shop this week, and there are still more ahead. Ann has brought some of the bolts that she has used in her beautiful fussy-cut kaleidoscope quilts (which can be viewed at the Universalist Unitarian Church in Danvers, Massachusetts) where twenty-five of her quilts are on exhibition until the end of March! Here are her collectible thimbles and greeting cards that feature fussy-cut kaleidoscopic fabric on each card.

And here are some of Ann's bolts and fat quarters. Stop in to see these beautiful fabrics, and more! You can visit Ann's work at her website: The Quilted Gallery

While at the guild's silent auction, I also picked up some nice pieces of flannel for the shop; some are more than a yard, and others are fat quarters, with remnant sizes in-between:

Happy sewing, all! Be well, be warm, and cheer on the approach of Spring!

We continue to Grow!

I've added a new page to this blog. The new page, titled Massachusetts Women Artists' Consignments, features information about the four women who have placed some of their work in our Quilters' Quarters. I'll give you a photo introduction to their art here, and then suggest that you go to the new page to read about their talents and find websites where you can see more of their work.

I've had more than one customer visit our shop and exclaim "It is so interesting in here!" ... "Everywhere you look there is something different, something unique." ... "I have to come back when I have more time to spend just soaking in the atmosphere."

I love those comments, and know that I owe some of the credit to the wonderful women who have shared their art with us. Come visit us to see what they have to offer. You'll always find something new at Quilters' Quarters ... something new and different, or something old and nostalgic. And if you don't find what you're looking for, just let us know and we will make it a point to find that for you on our next shopping trip!
